LUBRICATION
Chassis maintenance
To simplify maintenance of your Volvo, the
vehicle has been equipped with ball
joints,
steering rods and propeller shafts of such
a construction that theydo not require re-
gular lubrication. This has been possible
due to the fact that points that normally
require lubricating have been packed with
very 'durable grease at the factory and
then carefully sealed, this obviating the
need for subsequent
lubrication.
Oil should be changed or the oil level
checked after every 6000 miles (10000 km)
in accordance with the lubricating chart at
the end of the book. The measures taken
in this inspection are also to be found in
the lubricating chart.
Always use only
first-
class lubricants of a
well-known
make.
The right lubricants in
the right quantity at the right time will in-
crease both the lifetime and the reliability
of your ear.

Lubricate body
To avoid rattle and unnecessary we ar, the
body should be lubricated once a year.
The hinges on the hood, doors and trunk
lid as weil as door stops should be lubri-
cated every 6000 miles (10000 km). During
the wintertime, the locks in the door hand-
les and trunk lid should also be given
reliable anti-freeze to prevent them from
freezing up.
